Why can't kimono wear underwear?

Because kimono has many layers, it is also very troublesome to wrap up and wear three layers inside and three layers outside. Japanese women don't wear underwear for their own reasons. It's troublesome to wrap a pile of clothes on your body, and there's no one to wear it, so there's nothing embarrassing.

On the other hand, when fashion underwear came into Japan, Japanese women seldom used it because of its high price. It was not until a fire broke out that the Japanese people understood the importance of wearing underwear under their coats. So now many Japanese women have developed the habit of wearing underwear under kimono for safety reasons.

Women's kimonos have rich colors, wide belts, diverse types and styles, and many accessories.

Moreover, depending on the occasion and time, people will wear different kimonos to show caution (female kimonos include wedding kimonos, adult kimonos, evening kimonos, banquet kimonos and general dresses).

The weaving, dyeing and embroidery of kimono itself, as well as the complicated rules when wearing it (pay attention to wearing clogs and socks when wearing kimono, and comb different hairstyles according to the types of kimono). It has become a work of art, and designers are constantly innovating in color and texture, applying all kinds of bold designs to colors, so that modern impressions can be skillfully integrated into classical forms.
